How to prepare your HVO system for relocation and storage
print icon

Please follow the procedure below to disassemble and relocate the HVO safely and in a manner that does not cause damage to the system:

 

  1. Get a "parts" box to store miscellaneous items
  2. Switch off the Main and Drone units.
  3. Unplug the Main, Drone, and Relay Box(es) from wall outlets
  4. Unplug the machine cords from the Main, Drone and Relay Box(es) and store them in the parts box
  5. Unscrew the coaxial cables from the Main, Drone and Relay Box(es) and store them in the parts box
  6. In a room with good ventilation, or by running a hose outdoors, drain the oxygen tank of all oxygen
  7. When the pressure is at zero, use a pair of adjustable wrenches to remove the regulator. Use one wrench to hold the tank fitting in place, and the other to unscrew the regulator fitting. NOTE: Be careful, as brass parts are soft and will strip easily.
  8. Wrap the regulator in a plastic bag and store in the parts box.
  9. Plug the regulator hole with a plastic plug
  10. Wrap the relay box(es) in plastic bags and store in a box
  11. For each oxygen concentrator,
    • Turn off the power switch
    • Turn the flow meter dial clockwise until it is closed
    • Use a twist tie to fold and secure the power cord and tuck it into the handle
    • Wrap each concentrator in plastic, throw in a dessicant packet, place the concentrator in a box, and seal it with packing tape
    • Make sure that the concentrators remain upright
  12. Cover each Main and Drone headbox with a plastic bag and secure to the tank

 

Be careful to prevent the quick-connect fitting on the back of the headbox from catching on anything (such as a hand-truck) or it will break off.

 

Store the equipment in a dry indoor space with humidity of less than 90%, and temperature in the range of 34-90°F.
